treeslayer Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Has anyone used-heard of this coating? My exterior foundation walls (concrete) needs painting and ran across this stuff seems like good stuff but you know how the internet is. My application would be just the exposed poured concrete foundation as the rest of the whole house is brick, thanks in advance for any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Dave, I have no experience with this product. As you guys sometimes do different things up north for different reasons, were you thinking about using this just for the color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 “Weather resistant” says it all. I would not expect it to hold up outdoors long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeslayer Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 i was hoping to catching the attention of @Tom King among others who may have used it, i'm sure more will chime in, it's that kind of place here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 My house has that black stuff sprayed on the concrete that goes into the ground, then above the ground a certain distance. Can’t recall what it’s called but it’s quite common around the northwest. Haven’t heard of spray cork, that sounds like it would have interesting applications for jigs, vice faces and holdfasts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 My place just has some exterior grade spray foam on the foundation. It's gotten damaged a little bit in 30 years but overall looks like it's in good shape. I can't comment about the cork stuffer ... er cork stuff. That cork stuff does seem appealing. I wonder how it'd hold up as flooring? Kinda expensive for an experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 After viewing the website a bit, I'm skeptical. They make a point of it being an insulator. A 12 Kg pail covers 180 sq ft, so I can't calculate the thickness of the coat. But if it's tough enough to be used on sidewalks & patios, it will not be super light & airy, which is what a good insulator is. So, at best the thin layer that will be 'insulating' your basement is going to be about 'R-next to nothing' If they have to make up goofy stuff like that then I don't put much trust in anything they claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks for the input everyone, I think there are to many unanswered questions for me to go forward with it, back to paint I guess, seems like it’s too good to be true and you know what that means 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
